I stick by my prediction that hardly used and even brand new EVs will end up in the crusher due to a lack of demand.

The used Corolla isn’t hypothetical

And I don’t do bumper stickers. They attract attention.

And those engines broke down a lot.

Before you get excited by the discount and run right out to get you a new “2025 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680” just know that the starting price for one is $180k.

So is it a big deal that they’re discounting them? I guess? But they’re STILL not cheap, and I can’t imagine that these discounts will have much of an impact on sales.

So they’re saying these were overpriced to begin with.

The Zeppelins had Maybach engines. Same engine was used in the V-12 car made by the airship company.

I don’t use any marks or stickers either. That was confirmed by my friend who had an auto body repair shop.

Bumper stickers can lead to felony destruction of property.

And while I'm glad the perp got busted ... in the long run I'd rather not have my car "keyed".

The EQS models look a lot smaller than the gasoline-powered S or GLS - so I can understand the hesitation over paying 180K for what appears to be a mid-sized car. They have to keep the weight down to get enough battery life.

Though I was given an EQE AMG coupe SUV as a loaner the last time my car was in for service and I have to admit the thing is awesome - especially the acceleration.

MB is still a luxury brand catering to older customers, and electric vehicles are a difficult sell to that demographic. Elon should take some design tips from the EQS models and upgrade the interiors of the Tesla Model S.

I bet the thought of negotiating makes Mercedes dealers blanche.
